Allyson & Erik
Wedding Party
Morgan Ruebusch
Maid of Honor
Allyson's taller, younger sister is co-maid of honor for the big day. Though we may have argued a lot as kids, we're now a lot closer. We enjoy what time we can get together living in two different states, though a shared love of sour beer, romance novels, and curly hair tips helps.
Jeff Sunday
Best Man
Erik and Jeff have known each other since high school and both went to Ohio State together. We have already begun our old man traits by sharing weekly morning walks where we solve all the world's problems. Jeff's daughter, Lilly, is one of the flower girls for the ceremony.
Taryn Ruebusch
Maid of Honor
Allyson youngest, younger sister is co-maid of honor for the big day. Despite our 10 year age gap, we spent many a night at the movies or dinner, usually my treat, while I was living at home. It's been agreed on that when I'm old and lonely, Taryn owes me a lot of outings in return.
Cassadi Thomas
Groomswoman
Cassadi and Erik met in second grade and have been gamer friends since college. We have enjoyed many hours playing boardgames and going to gaming conventions. Her daughter, Lizzy, is one of the flower girls in the ceremony.
Leann White
Bridesmaid
We met at BGSU freshman orientation, where our parents thought we already knew each other. We’ve been friends ever since. 16 YEARS!! We spent many years living in different cities, but now get to see each other a lot more while both living in Columbus.
Ryan Vasu-Sarver
Groomsman
Ryan is Erik's brother. Being 18 months apart we used to have quite the scrapps as younger children, but now we love exploring the various festivals and new restaurants around Columbus.
Cassie Danhauer
Bridesmaid
We met at BGSU, and initially weren't really friends, but that changed pretty quickly. 16 YEARS LATER Cassie became my favorite visitor, coming to see me in every city I lived in while travel nursing. Now married with kids, we don't see each other as much, but every time we do it's like no time has passed.
Mary Michel
Bridesmaid
It began in an NP lab class where we bonded over our love of beer and travel, and maybe actually completed our assignment for the day. We quickly became each others favorite study buddies and eventually brewery companions, visiting each other monthly until COVID-19. Still sending meme's like each others second jobs...
Jessica Elefritz
Bridesmaid
I didn't only meet Erik at trivia, but Jess too. After only knowing each other a few months, we both decided we should become travel buddies, going on our first trip together to Spain after only hanging out a few times. Thankfully we didn't kill each other. We continue to fill our time with happy hour(s) and concerts.
